Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the bickering and discourse about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in a casino are still there – over 60 years after slot machine games were 1st placed in casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the best slots were positioned just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be smitten to come inside and play. Our assurance is that this is definitely no longer true.

Just about all of the mega casinos nowadays are titanic complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ one armed bandits in close proximity to any entrances.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Notably however, we find that this also is not a universal rule any more.

What casinos found over the years is that people walking down the busy aisles were frequently on the way to somewhere else. If they played slots at all, they would simply put in their loose change because they happened to be walking by. Win or lose, they would very often not stop to keep playing. And the last thing a casino wants is for someone to win a jackpot by playing only a few coins and then not stay to put it all back in!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
